All authors must approve the submitted version, author order, and submission to JAM.

• Research Article: original quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, experimental, survey, or case research.
• Review Article: a critical synthesis using a transparent and reproducible search and selection method where applicable.

8. Discussion: interpretation of findings, comparison with relevant literature, explanation of agreements or differences, theoretical and practical implications, contribution, limitations, and future directions.
9. Conclusion: direct answer to the objective, supported contribution and implications, without new data or citations.
10. Declarations and References: include the statements listed in Section 7, followed by references in APA 7th edition and appendices where necessary.

5. Tables, Figures, Equations, and Supplementary Material

• Number tables and figures consecutively and cite each one in the text before or near its first appearance.
• Place table titles above tables and figure captions below figures. Provide notes, abbreviations, units, and data sources where needed.
• Use editable tables, not screenshots. Figures must be legible at publication size and supplied in an appropriate high-resolution format when requested.
• Obtain written permission for copyrighted material and disclose whether an item is reproduced or adapted.
• Number displayed equations consecutively when referenced. Define every symbol at first use.
• Do not duplicate the same data in prose, a table, and a figure.

6. Citations and References

Use APA Style, 7th edition consistently. Every in-text citation must appear in the reference list and every listed reference must be cited. Include a DOI in the format https://doi.org/... when available; otherwise provide a stable URL only when appropriate. Authors should prioritize relevant peer-reviewed and primary sources, include necessary seminal works, avoid unreliable or predatory sources, and check every bibliographic element before submission.

Reference-management software such as Zotero, Mendeley, or EndNote is recommended. See the APA guidance on DOIs and URLs.

7. Required Declarations

Use a clear heading for each applicable statement. If none applies, state this explicitly rather than omitting the section.

Detailed obligations are governed by JAM's separate Authorship, Conflict of Interest, Research Data, Ethical Oversight, and Generative AI policies.

8. Submission, Revision, and Proofs

1. Register or log in and submit only through the JAM OJS submission system. Manuscripts sent by email, messaging application, or cloud link are not formal submissions.
2. Complete all OJS metadata accurately: title, abstract, keywords, author names/order, affiliations, emails, ORCID identifiers, references, and supporting agencies.
3. Upload the Title Page, anonymized DOCX, and relevant supplementary files using the correct component labels.
4. When revision is invited, submit a clean revised manuscript, a marked version if requested, and a point-by-point response stating where and how each comment was addressed. Follow the deadline in the decision letter or request an extension before it expires.
5. At proof stage, check names, affiliations, content, tables, figures, metadata, and references. Proofs are intended for production corrections, not substantial rewriting or new analysis.
